Daughter of Lies - The Asgardian Avenger

Three

Captain America's POV

"Mr. Rogers, Mrs. Rogers," the guard nods, letting Natasha and I in. Fury acknowledges my presence in his futuristic office. A girl, with curly blonde hair stands in the room, wearing a black t shirt and skinny jeans, resting her hand on the black glass desk.

Looking exactly like Katie.

"Who is that?" I say harshly to Fury. I didn't ask to be tortured with a clone of her.

"I'm Kathryn... Well, let's stick with that." she says, reaching out to shake my hand. I shake it, studying her. Curly blonde hair, vibrant jade eyes, and tall, skinny frame. A nearly exact replica of Katie.

"She's here to administer the test. Just follow her." Fury gives a slight nod to her. She walks out of the sleek office, grabbing a folder that lays on Fury's desk.

"We're just going to administer the test, check for reactions, and have you off," Kathryn says nonchalantly.

"Yeah, that's what we were called in for, right Steve?" Natasha asks, elbowing me. Suddenly everything seems suspicious.

"Yeah," I say absentmindedly. Kathryn places her hand on the keypad, unlocking the lab door. The glass slides open, revealing a simple chair not unlike a dentist's. She steps over to a tray, preparing a needle and setting it down by a second.

"Have a seat, Mr. Rogers. Natasha, can I have a word?" Kathryn asks. Natasha nods, her face expressionless. They step out of the room as I seat myself.

Everything about this situation screams suspicious, dangerous, wrong.

They return after a few minutes, looking completely unfazed. Kathryn picks up one of the two needles, the one she didn't prepare.

"Steve, I'm going to need you to take a deep breath, Natasha, if you will," Kathryn says, glancing at the gun at Natasha's side. Nat takes it out of the holster as Kathryn plunges the needle into my arm. I flinch.

Kathryn takes it out. "Now, I'll politely ask you to duck."

Natasha and I hit the ground just as four bullets slice through the glass of the lab, hitting the wall with an explosion.

"Stark!" Kathryn yells. What does Tony have to do with anything? Natasha seems to know what Kathryn is saying, as she grabs my arm and pulls me away from the rubble.

"I'll explain later, I swear. We have to go!" Natasha yells at me, dashing out of SHIELD headquarters. I jump into Natasha's sleek black car, clenching my teeth as she accelerates.

The last thing I see as I turn around to glance at the building, seeming to have had more than those small bombs detonated, is a flash of green light and the figure of a girl flying out.

Unknown POV

"I need to speak to Mr. Stark, please. It's urgent."

"Mr. Stark is enjoying quality time with his son. If you could please come-"

"Listen, JARVIS, SHIELD headquarters just went down in a ball of flames, and the Avengers are the first targets. I will just open the door myself. "

The girl smirks as the automated door slides open.
